Thumper has seen the future. Researchers at the University of Washington have created the prototype for a bionic contact lens — recently tested on rabbits — that includes light- emitting ...

Now, a University of Washington research team says they're much closer to a bionic contact lens. You've seen it in hollywood and in video games--electronics that enhance what we see through our ...

Technology has really come a long way. Connected devices are everywhere, but who would have thought that contact lenses will be joining the list? Who would have imagined that the high-tech eyes fr ...

A new generation of contact lenses built with tiny circuits and LEDs could make bionic eyesight a reality. Written by Andrew Nusca, Contributor Sept. 2, 2009 at 12:11 a.m. PT ...

Ideally, installing or removing the bionic eye would be as easy as popping a contact lens in or out, and once installed the wearer would barely know the gadget was there, Parviz said.

Bionic implanted eyeballs, “Star Trek”-style visors, telescopic contact lenses ... these are just a few of the many exciting projects underway to both restore and provide enhanced sight.

The first uses of bionic contact lenses, though, would be medical. Indeed, a company called Sensimed already produces “smart contact lenses” to help diagnose eye disease and gather data to ...

(CBS) - Contact lenses take a leap forward with a new technology that projects text and images before your eyes. The technology works by embedding a custom-made sapphire LED and circular antenna ...

If you've ever wanted to be the Bionic Woman or a Terminator, new research may at least let you see with their eyes. Scientists have taken the first step toward creating digital contact lenses ...

“If you can just barely see the clock at 10 feet, when you get the Bionic Lens, you can see the clock at 30 feet away,” Webb said. Webb says his bionic lenses give you vision that’s three ...

There are caveats, of course: The single-pixel contact lens display, because of its tiny antenna, has to have a power source within 10cm (it's very similar to RFID/NFC in this regard).

Quantum dots have been successfully 3D printed into a contact lens, allowing the lens to project beams of light. Bionic eye: 3D printing merges contact lens and QLEDs - CNET X ...
